Ch. 83.1 - Heavenly Spirit Tree’s Ascension Day (2)
In the midst of the primeval mountain range stood the towering World Tree, Cradle of the Heavenly Spirit Tree.

The elves and fairies firmly held onto the title of ‘Cradle of the Heavenly Spirit Tree’ for that place.

Regarding the Cradle of the Heavenly Spirit Tree, there was a saying that jokingly circulated among the fanbase of the original romance fantasy novel.

If you plan to do business in the Cradle of the Heavenly Spirit Tree, exclude construction and real estate. Then you'll definitely succeed.

The reason was quite simple: The Heavenly Spirit Tree itself grew branches and built houses for the spirits that came into its embrace.

In other words, the elves had no worries about housing.

However, it would be a mistake to think that they lived in haphazardly woven branch nests.

"Wow..."

"This is a city truly built by the will of the Heavenly Spirit Tree...?"

After arriving at the capital of the Elven Nation, the Cradle of the Heavenly Spirit Tree, known as the Skyflower Haven, Stella’s students were given some free time.

This was because they were scheduled to participate in the Heavenly Spirit Tree's Ascension Day.

Of course, that was just an excuse.

To be honest, Edna thought of this schedule as something similar to a university field trip.

They couldn't drink and have fun, but it was a measure taken by the academy to allow the students to freely explore the city with their friends to relieve their stress.

Splaaaash!!

Waterfalls cascaded down from the branches of the Heavenly Spirit Tree hanging at the edge of the sky.

At the intersection where the waterfall split into two streams, a large bridge was laid, and on either side, mansions reminiscent of apartments stood tall.

The original novel described the capital, Skyflower Haven, like this: ‘Hundreds of gigantic tree trunks filled the world. And every tree trunk bore houses like fruits.’

While human cities spread horizontally on flat ground, elven cities expanded vertically as well.

As a result, they had a considerable number of stairs. They were not necessarily for the elves, but they were built in consideration for outsiders.

It was said that those with poor physical stamina found it challenging to even tour the Skyflower Haven.

Sigh!

A window of a cabin located above opened, and a young elf looked down in that direction.

Just as the elven city fascinated Stella’s people, the reverse was also true.

Considering the fact that a magical warrior like Edna received the treatment of a ‘hero’ among civilians and didn’t appear casually, it must be a remarkable sight to see so many students from the world's top magical warrior academy gathered here.

Edna smiled warmly and waved at the children, causing them to shyly hide their faces.

"They're cute. Even elven children are adorable."

"That's right, that's right."

The girls chattered excitedly.

How often would they have the opportunity to visit the Heavenly Spirit Tree in their lifetime?
